The alleged false testimony was made on Aug. 13 and Aug. 15, according to court documents filed by lead prosecutor William McCauley, the Boston Globe reported.

The multiple perjury charges stem primarily from Jenkins' inability to remember multiple conversations she had with Hernandez on the day he is accused of having shot his friend to death, as well as any details pertaining to the whereabouts of the murder weapon, which prosecutors believe she spirited away.

Jenkins had previously admitted to a grand jury that she had removed a box that was believed to have contained the murder weapon – a .45-caliber handgun – allegedly used by Hernandez to kill former associate Odin Lloyd, however she failed to tell the jury the exact location of the dumpster where she had discarded the box, Fox Sports reported.

At a hearing in October, Jenkins' attorney Janice Bassil, accused the prosecution of overreach in the perjury charge, arguing that Jenkins could honestly not recall where she had dumped the box and that she had testified truthfully in the trial thus far.

"It seems to me that this is overreaching," Bassil said. "The indictment is overreaching. The statement by Mr. Bomberg is overreaching. And the request for bail is overreaching."
